man oh man...good luck. I too cut both of mine out with a saws all. It's one of the chronic R problems. When you finally put it back together....lots of antiseize and take it apart every couple years to make sure it still comes apart. Good luck. It's a pain. I hope yours comes out easily.

Use an impact wrench. When I got my BEAT, rusty, POS 350X to restore I was like "Wow these bolts are going to be a beotch to get out, especially the big ones".. but an impact wrench took them right out. I tried and tried and tried to get the shock mount bolt and the swinger bolt out and then I saw the impact wrench sitting there on the shelf, and it was like a message from God.. "Use it!!!" lol.. so I did and it popped right out.

I had to beat the snot out of mine to get it out on my R. I had it down to the frame.
I used quite a bit of PB Blaster, and soak time. Then I got the 5 lb sledge out and beat the tar out of the bolt till it came out. I then used an old socket extension to force it out the rest of the way. You WILL destroy the bolt. I tried putting the nut on loose, hoping not to damage the threads, but no such luck. When it was finally out, I looked and noticed it was rusted heavily in place, and grooved at the spacers.
Definitely get the bushings from x.system. They are awesome. Just be careful installing them so you don't damage the ends of them. Grease up a new axle, slide it home, and never have to swear at the swingarm bolt, or bearings ever again. Hope you have an easier time with bolt than I did. I learned some new words when I worked on mine

I can tell you what worked for me.
I used a rivet gun with a soft piece of aluminum to protect the end of the bolt.
Use the vibrations of the rivet gun to drive it back and forth just a tiny bit each way.
Soon the corrosion will loosen an it will come out.
Good luck.
